FIG. 1 is a front perspective view of a vegetation hanger in accordance with the present disclosure; and
FIG. 2 is a front view of the vegetation hanger of FIG. 1 .
 DETAILED DESCRIPTION
Although illustrative systems of this disclosure will be described in terms of specific aspects, it will be readily apparent to those skilled in this art that various modifications, rearrangements, and substitutions may be made without departing from the spirit of this disclosure.
For purposes of promoting an understanding of the principles of this disclosure, reference will now be made to exemplary aspects illustrated in the figures, and specific language will be used to describe the same. It will nevertheless be understood that no limitation of the scope of this disclosure is thereby intended. Any alterations and further modifications of this disclosure, features illustrated herein, and any additional applications of the principles of this disclosure as illustrated herein, which would occur to one skilled in the relevant art and having possession of this disclosure, are to be considered within the scope of this disclosure.
With reference to FIGS. 1 and 2 , a vegetation hanger provided in accordance with the present disclosure is shown generally identified by reference numeral 10. The vegetation hanger 10 generally includes an elongated crossbar 12 and an arm 14 extending from the elongated crossbar 12. The elongated crossbar 12 and the arm 14 are monolithically formed from a single piece of sheet metal (e.g., stainless steel). Other types of materials are also contemplated for the vegetation hanger 10, such as, for example, plastics. In other aspects, the elongated crossbar 12 and the arm 14 may be integrally connected to one another via welding, adhesives, or the like. The elongated crossbar 12 and arm 14 may have a thickness from about 0.065 inches to about 0.12 inches, and in embodiments about 0.09 inches, a vertical height from about 6 inches to about 7 inches, and in embodiments about 6.30 inches, and a length from about 13 inches to about 20 inches, and in embodiments about 17 inches.
The elongated crossbar 12 may be an elongate plate having a first end portion 12 a coupled to the arm 14, and an opposite second end portion 12 b, an upper-facing edge 12 c, and an opposite bottom-facing edge 12 d. The upper-facing edge 12 c has a plurality of undulations 16, such as, for example, serrations, extending along a length of the elongated crossbar 12 configured to facilitate the hanging of vegetation thereon while preventing sliding of the vegetation relative to and along the elongated crossbar 12. The undulations may include a plurality of alternating arcuate ridges 16 a and depressions 16 b. Other shapes for the ridges 16 a and depressions 16 b are also contemplated, such as, for example, triangular or squared. The pitch of the undulations 16 may be from about 0.25 inches to about 0.75 inches, and in embodiments about 0.5 inches.
The elongated crossbar 12 has a lip 18 protruding upwardly from the second end portion 12 b to prevent unintended lateral movement of the vegetation off the second end portion 12 b of the elongated crossbar 12. When intended, lateral movement of all the vegetation hung on the crossbar 12 off the second end portion 12 b thereof at once may be initiated by a user. The elongated crossbar 12 may have a ledge or bent portion 20 (FIG. 1 ) protruding perpendicularly from the bottom-facing edge 12 d of the elongated crossbar 12. The ledge 20 may enhance the structural integrity of the elongated crossbar 12 to inhibit warping thereof and/or may facilitate stacking of a plurality of the vegetation hangers 10 on one another.
The elongated crossbar 12 may be fabricated at any suitable length, which, as non-limiting examples, may be one of about 17 inches, 21 inches, 41 inches, or 61 inches to accommodate different open spaces, amounts of vegetation to be dried, and support of vegetation within a drying system.
The arm 14 of the vegetation hanger 10 includes a stem 22 directly connected to the elongated crossbar 12, and a hanger portion 24 directly connected to the stem 22. More specifically, the stem 22 of the arm 14 has a first end portion 22 a extending vertically upward from the first end portion 12 a of the elongated crossbar 12, and a second end portion 22 b extending upwardly from the first end portion 22 a of the stem 22 and in a direction generally toward the second end portion 12 b of the elongated crossbar 12. The second end portion 22 b of the stem 22 may extend at an obtuse angle relative to the first end portion 22 a of the stem 22. The second end portion 22 b of the stem 22 may extend at other suitable angles relative to the first end portion 22 a, such as, for example, a 90 degree angle or an acute angle.
The hanger portion 24 of the arm 14 defines a longitudinal axis “X1” that is parallel with a longitudinal axis “X2” defined by the elongated crossbar 12 such that the hanger portion 24 overhangs the elongated crossbar 12. The hanger portion 24 has a first end portion 24 a formed with or otherwise coupled to the second end portion 22 b of the stem 22, and an opposite second end portion 24 b. The hanger portion 24 defines an elongate aperture 26 configured for receipt of one or more fingers of a hand of a user to allow for a user to grasp and carry the vegetation hanger 10. The elongate aperture 26 may be positioned above the center of gravity of the vegetation hanger 10 to ensure the vegetation hanger 10 remains balanced in a user's hand.
The second end portion 24 b of the hanger portion 24 defines a vertically-extending slot 28 that is open to and facing the elongated crossbar 12. The slot 28 overhangs a central portion 12 e of the elongated crossbar 12. The slot 28 defines a length in a direction perpendicular to the longitudinal axis “X1” of the hanger portion 24, whereas the elongate aperture 26 defines a length that is parallel with the longitudinal axis “X1” of the hanger portion 24 such that the slot 28 and the elongate aperture 26 are set perpendicularly relative to one another. The slot 28 and the elongate aperture 26 may be blocked off from one another by a wall 30 of the hanger portion 24 positioned therebetween.
The slot 28 includes a bottom portion 28 a having a rectangular shape, and a top portion 28 b having a V-shape. The bottom portion 28 a is defined by a pair of vertically-extending linear surfaces 32, 34 that are configured to cradle corresponding lateral sides of a horizontal support bar (not shown) having a rectangular cross-section. In this way, when the horizontal support bar is received in the slot 28, the vegetation hanger 10 is inhibited from shifting in either direction along the longitudinal axis “X1” of the hanger portion 24 or tilting. The V-shape of the top portion 28 b of the slot 28 facilitates the use of the vegetation hanger 10 on wire, string, rope, plastic netting, chain, cage or fencing.
In operation to dry vegetation, the vegetation hanger 10 is hung on a mounting surface, such as a horizontal support bar (not shown) at the point of harvest by positioning the horizontal support bar within the slot 28 of the hanger portion 24. With the horizontal support bar positioned within the slot 28, the vegetation hanger 10 is suspended from the ground and prevented from tilting or shifting. The vegetation may be cut (e.g., to about 17″ in length) and hung along the upper-facing edge 12 c of the elongated crossbar 12. Each piece of harvested vegetation can be placed between adjacent ridges 16 a of the undulations 16 (e.g., in the depressions 16 b) to prevent individual movement of the vegetation. Once all the vegetation has been placed on the crossbar 12 of the vegetation hanger 10, the vegetation hanger 10 may be carried (e.g., by a user) via the elongate aperture 26 from the point of harvest to the final drying location. When the vegetation is to be removed, all of the vegetation may be slid over the lip 18 and off the second end portion 12 b of the elongate crossbar 12.
While several embodiments of the disclosure have been detailed above and are shown in the drawings, it is not intended that the disclosure be limited thereto, as it is intended that the disclosure be as broad in scope as the art will allow and that the specification be read likewise. Therefore, the above description and accompanying drawings should not be construed as limiting, but merely as exemplifications of particular embodiments. Those skilled in the art will envision other modifications within the scope and spirit of the claims appended hereto.
